Which came first? The block or the wheel?
The drop or the spill? Crooked cops or robbers who kill?
from Quad-SHADE – Dead Presidents (RG round 4) Lyrics on Rap Genius
Meaning
This series of philosophical questions parody the old “chicken and the egg” scenario.
Which was invented first? The straight lines necessary to make a block? Or the circle?
Hip hop artists “dropping” music on their own accord? Or the “spilling/leaking” of music through the community?
Good men turned bad? Or men that were evil to begin with?
